An Instructor’s Perspective….by GEORGE D’IORIO

We are so very excited to present you with this fantastic series of articles submitted by GEORGE D’IORIO, principal Brass Instructor from 1975 to 1979. These articles are SURE to transport you through time, back to the days of drum corps here in New England.

When I read George’s first article, it brought a HUGE smile to my face (and I didn’t even march during the years he writes about). What impresses me so much is the passion with which he writes, and the dedication and commitment of the members, staff and parents who made everything come together during those early years.

If you have an article you would like to to submit or memory you would like to share, please do so at arbellacorps@hotmail.com.
